Make it easier for your staff to check guests when serving breakfast, snacks, lunch or dinner. The Meal Plan Usage report provides a clear and efficient way to quickly verify whether a guest is entitled to a particular meal and to easily record their arrival.
The report is especially useful for the hostess or staff checking guests directly at the restaurant entrance. Staff can see how many guests from a particular room have already arrived and how many are still expected.
You can find the report under Reporting → Meal Plan → Meal Plan Usage.
